    Abstract: A non-volatile memory device comprises a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type. An array of non-volatile memory cells is located in the semiconductor substrate and arranged in a plurality of rows and columns. Each memory cell comprises a first region on a surface of the semiconductor substrate of a second conductivity type, and a second region on the surface of the semiconductor substrate of the second conductivity type. A channel region is between the first region and the second region. A word line overlies a first portion of the channel region and is insulated therefrom, and adjacent to the first region and having little or no overlap with the first region. A floating gate overlies a second portion of the channel region, is adjacent to the first portion, and is insulated therefrom and is adjacent to the second region. A coupling gate overlies the floating gate. A bit line is connected to the first region. During the operations of program, read, or erase, a negative voltage can be applied to the word lines and/or coupling gates of the selected or unselected memory cells.

    Abstract: A memory device including a silicon semiconductor substrate, spaced apart source and drain regions formed in the substrate with a channel region there between, and a conductive floating gate disposed over a first portion of the channel region and a first portion of the source region. An erase gate includes a first portion that is laterally adjacent to the floating gate and over the source region, and a second portion that extends up and over the floating gate. A conductive word line gate is disposed over a second portion of the channel region. The word line gate is disposed laterally adjacent to the floating gate and includes no portion disposed over the floating gate. The thickness of insulation separating the word line gate from the second portion of the channel region is less than that of insulation separating the floating gate from the erase gate.

    Abstract: A method of forming a memory device that includes forming on a substrate, a first insulation layer, a first conductive layer, a second insulation layer, a second conductive layer, a third insulation layer. First trenches are formed through third insulation layer, the second conductive layer, the second insulation layer and the first conductive layer, leaving side portions of the first conductive layer exposed. A fourth insulation layer is formed at the bottom of the first trenches that extends along the exposed portions of the first conductive layer. The first trenches are filled with conductive material. Second trenches are formed through the third insulation layer, the second conductive layer, the second insulation layer and the first conductive layer. Drain regions are formed in the substrate under the second trenches. A pair of memory cells results, with a single continuous channel region extending between drain regions for the pair of memory cells.
